The Universal Holiday.

Christmas has laid fast hold of the heart
of the world 1t is the one day in all the
year when all the world keeps holiday. You
can not cut Christmas out OF the calendar.
and you can not cut Christ out of Christmas
Without Him it has no real meaning. 1t is
not, perhaps. any way near the real ami
versary of His birth, but that matters little;
1t serves to celebrate the advent Of the Son
of Man We have no other universal cele-
bration- Nations ring their bells when a
prince is born, or toll them when q hero
dies England keeps very feebly the Path
of May, the anniversary OF victoria's birth;
but cares France, or Germany, or Russian
We have loud guns and tossing banners for
the Fourth OF July; but it is our National
holiday. But the birthday Of the Christ In
the worlds one grand. historic treasure.
And the true moral OF this season is the
Christly spirit Vino shows love and ten
derness, gentle sympathy and laage charity,
most truly celebrates the glorious Christmas
season--CurTs5p.
